1–2 Introduction
This guide provides installation and operating
instructions for the NEC Silentwriter SuperScript for
Windows 95 software.
The NEC Silentwriter SuperScript for Windows 95
software is developed specially for users of
Windows 95. The software supports PostScript
emulation mode in addition to GDI mode and PCL
emulation mode and provides network printing
features.
INTRODUCTION
Introduction 1–3
NEC Silentwriter SuperScript for Windows 95 is a
printing solution developed for Windows 95 users
that provides complete Windows-based printing.
This new SuperScript for Windows 95 provides the
following additional features for your standard
SuperScript printer:
• Full Windows 95 Compatibility
• Network Printing
The SuperScript for Windows 95 expands
capabilities of the SuperScript printer to support
the Microsoft Windows 95 network solution.
• Software emulation of PostScript
The SuperScript for Windows 95 provides both
PostScript Level I and Level II emulations.
(PostScript Level II emulation is available for
only SuperScript 660 and 660i printer users.)
Available printing modes are different depending
on your printer type.
GDI (All SuperScript printers)
PCL4.5 (SuperScript 610 / 610plus)
PCL5e (SuperScript 660 / 660i)
PostScript I (SuperScript 610 / 610plus)
PostScript II (SuperScript 660 / 660i)
• New Integrated User Interface.
STANDARD
FEATURE
1–4 Introduction
Which configuration option you should choose is
primarily dependent on whether you will use the
SuperScript printer in a network or as a non-network
“Personal” printer connected directly to your PC.
Regardless of whether you use the SuperScript
printer in a network configuration or as a non-
network printer, the software provides all the same
print modes and printer features. Network and
resource sharing features are not available in the
Personal configuration.
NETWORK
CONFIGURATION
OVERVIEW
SuperScript network program provides three
software configuration options that can be selected
based on how you intend to use the printer:
•Personal
•Server
•Client
Introduction 1–5
Personal
Configuration
The Personal configuration is for users not connected
to a network, or who will not use the SuperScript
printer as a shared network resource. This
configuration is a conventional PC and printer
arrangement in which only the PC to which the
printer is connected can print to the printer.
For existing SuperScript users, the new SuperScript
software provides compatibility for Windows 95, the
PostScript emulation mode, and a newer, more
modern user interface with additional Help files.
There are features not available in this configuration
that are related to network administration and
selecting and viewing remote queues. These features
are disabled in the Personal configuration.
If at some point you choose to add network
capabilities to your PC or allow the SuperScript
printer to be a shared network resource, you will
have to re-install the SuperScript software and select
the Server User Type option.
1–6 Introduction
Microsoft’s Windows is designed to be a peer-to-
peer network. In other words, each PC is a peer to
every other PC in the workgroup. This peer approach
means that no PC in the workgroup acts as a network
administrator.
SuperScript software adopts this peer-to-peer model.
However, to provide user configuration flexibility
and to save memory for some users, SuperScript
software can be configured differently when a user
has a connected printer than when a user prints from
a printer connected to another peer PC in the
workgroup. The PC that has the printer connected to
it performs some additional functions not needed for
PCs without a connected printer.
Therefore, we have adopted the Client/Server
terminology to differentiate between those PCs that
have a printer connected to them and those that do
not. A Server is a peer with a connected and shared
printer. A Client is a peer using a printer connected
to a Server.
Server
Any Server in the workgroup with SuperScript
software installed can be effectively both a Server
and a Client. As a Server, that PC shares the
connected printer with other peers in the workgroup.
However, when that Server opts to print to a printer
supported by another Server, that PC is acting as a
Client to the other Server.
